For the past few years, I've been running either a stock Dynaco ST-70 or a VTA-70. My tube of choice has been the EL34, which gives a slightly dark sound (relative to the KT88, which I've run in other amps over the years). But I really enjoy that sound. I find the KT88 to have great clarity, but to be sort of glassy-sounding, at least in the amps I've heard it in.
So, while I've read a lot of "sounds great!" comments about the KT120, I've read no descriptions of how it might actually sound in, say, a VT-120.
So, I have a very simple question which may lead to some complex answers. Does the KT120 lean more towards the KT88 sound, the EL34 sound, or does it have a combination of the two?
Thanks.
